We can’t stress enough the importance of life insurance. (And, no, we aren’t that type of life insurance agent as displayed in the movie, Groundhog Day). But, we have seen what happens when people and families go without it. Unfortunately, many people just can’t obtain life insurance.

Many carriers offer a waiver of premium – at an additional cost. The waiver of premium will pay your life insurance premiums if you are diagnosed with a disabling condition. Before you say, where do I sign up, we feel you have a better option. In this article, we describe the waiver or premium and discuss a better option for the waiver of premium for life insurance.

Scour the internet for “life insurance for children” and you will read some scathing reasons from financial “experts” why purchasing life insurance for children is a waste of money.
